DARK IIORSE IN POLITICS;
A Few Leaves from the History of Par¬
tis in America.
Chicago Herald: The “dark horse’*
in American politics made his first ap
pearance in 1844, with the nomina
tion of James K. Polk, Previous to
that time the candidates of all parties
had been men who were in the party
councils. They were men of nation
al reputation.
Van Buren, defeated in 1840, re
mained tho undoubted loader of tbe
Democratic party, but his views on
the annexation of Texas had estrang
ed from him the Southern leaders. In
1844 the opponents of Van Buren de
feated him in the Democratic conven
tion through the^operation of the two
thirds rule, and after a dead lock and
a contest of several days, finally nomi
nated Polk as an unknown man
against whom tho least could be
said.
In 1852 the party leaders, Buchan
an, Cass and Marcy, were pushed
from their stools and Franklin Pierce
received the prize.
In 18G0 the young and vigons re
publican party took a leaf oat of the
democratic book by nominating tho
comparatively unknown Lincoln over
the acknowledged leaders, Seward,
Chase and Cameron.
In 1868 and 1872 Grant received
the nomination as a reward for his
illustrious services in the war, bnt
in 1876 again there came a dead lock
in the republican party. No acknow
ledged leader could command a ma
joritv, and the unknown Hayes wrb
nominated.
In 1880 it cannot be said that Gar
field was unknown or was not a par
ty leader, but he was not regarded
as a Presidential candidate, nor nam
ed as such prior to the convention,
but the contest between tho leaders
brought the nomination to the
door.
When Garfield was elected Cleve
laDd was an unknown citizen of
Buffalo, though four years later he
Had a national reputation, just as in
1856 Abraham Lincoln was an ob¬
scure lawyer iu Springfield, who
achieved national distinction in the
succeeding four years.
In 1884 the Democrats nominated
Cleveland, ignoring their old time
leaders,and swept the country. Thus
from 1844 to 1884 eleven national
elections have been held, and six of
these have been won by candidates
who very properly may be classed as
dark horsee.

Smiling Over the First Cotton Hie?* >ma.
Flat Shoals, Ga , June 20.—Tbe
longest days in the year are now on
us with the raying son coming down
with its unmerciful heat, which is
tho life of little cotton and death of
corn.
People right around the Shoals
are beginning to suffer for rain, oats

There is nothing out»of common

everything is nnosnally quiet.

His corn looks well.
T. J. Williamson, at Neal, has
a good cotton crop and he has cot

smile when the boy told him of cot

“Boys I have always been taking a

Have any of our readers ever thrown
a horsehair Into a basin of water and
waited patiently for it to turn into a
snake? This seeming absurdity is thus
explained by a writer in The Hartwell
Sun:
“Our friend asked us if we didn’t
want to see a horsehair that had turned
to a We did, and he drew a bottle
from his pocket appeared filled with be water, dimin¬ in
which was what to a
utive snake, five or six inches long,
writhing and twisting aa if anxious to
escape bottle from tbe bottle. When put in the
it was nothing more than a hair
from a horse’s tail.
“It was then explained that the hair
does not undergo change, but that in Invis¬ tbe
ible animalcules that generate

Magnetism Found la Deep Walla.
I read in a paper a short time ago an
account of a magnetic well, which the
writer evidently thought was something
wonderful, la reality it is a very com¬

in the business in this city for eight years,
and it is seldom that I without penetrate the
